ProxySG™ 200 Series Overview
Remote Office Visibility, Control and Acceleration
of Web Communications
The Web is increasingly critical for business operations
for remote offices while the growth of new threats such
as spyware, viruses, trojans and browser attacks leveraging
real-time web communications continue to spiral upward.
Allowing direct Internet access from remote offices
can unburden corporate WANs from bandwidth-robbing spyware
that often impedes business processes. However, IT administrators
face the challenge of installing, configuring and managing
secure networks in remote branch offices where IT staff
are generally scarce. A primary goal of IT is to reduce
costs to support remote offices while increasing security
and control as Internet content (and associated threats)
continue to evolve.
The ProxySG 200 provides an affordable appliance solution
for remote offices where direct Internet access requires
visibility and control. Remote offices gain acceleration
of web-based applications from a centralized corporate
network hub leveraging compression, bandwidth management
and integrated caching features found in the ProxySG.
With multiple options available for authentication integration,
the ProxySG appliances can be configured to advise,
coach and enforce policies for remote sites, groups
and individual users.
Centralized policy administration (for multi-site deployments)
is provided by Blue Coat Director, while Blue Coat Reporter
provides log aggregation from multiple remote-office
appliances for concise reports and analysis of web communications
and policy enforcement.
